I Can't Go On, I'll Go On

2026

A luminous neon work by Alfredo Jaar, *I Can't Go On, I'll Go On* (2026) renders Samuel Beckett's famous paradox in glowing light, transforming an expression of existential perseverance into a visceral, radiant presence. The pulsing intensity of the neon medium amplifies the tension embedded in the phrase, oscillating between despair and defiance. Jaar harnesses light as both message and metaphor, inviting viewers to sit within the unresolved but enduring will to continue.
